Chekhov on Theatre ISBN 1623160294 2013 Notes: "Leontiev-Shcheglov, Ivan Leontievich (1856-1911) Writer and dramatist, whose one-sided infatuation with theatre Chekhov persistently tried to discourage, since he regarded Leontiev-Shcheglov as a much better prose writer. Leontiev, who wrote under the pseudonym Shcheglov, accused Chekhov of having plagiarised his Tragedian Despite Himself from his play A Husband in the Country."
